    Possible Channel Changes on September 15, 2015 - Escape Returns

    No doubt something named Escape returned. It is easy listening but the music is usually of a faster tempo and beat oriented. Escape as we knew it, well it is not. It is to be expected since someone else is doing it probably being done automatically from a play-list of some sort. I guess that...

    Update it is real: "Thank you for contacting SiriusXM regarding Escape. We're bringing Escape back to SiriusXM. Many listeners like you let us know your passion for Escape when we removed it from the channel lineup. We got the message: there is no substitute for the instrumental melodies on...

    Possible Channel Changes on September 15, 2015 - Escape Returns

    There appears to be an indication from SXM that Escape is returning on September 15, 2015. On their website Caliente is no longer listed as a new channel. Anyone have info on this? Quote: Bring Back Escape on Siriusxm 10 hrs · Edited · Good Morning/Afternoon, Escapers! Hope all of you are...

    Any outages yesterday evening?

    I have a home receiver usually on 68. For several nights at exactly 2 am Pacific time the music stops for around 10 minutes. The receiver is an onyx. The screen is completly blank shows no messages at all. Then the music starts again and everything appears normal. ???

    It appears that is what happened when 17 Love flipped from AC to MOR in the last few days. Escape is another matter, all format moves don't go well.

    Sirius never had beautiful musuc, XM did and had better music all around. I think it was "America Beautiful" channel when I started XM. Never considered Sirius at all, thought it was junk and still do. It apprears that XM is really gone because it now is sounding worse than Sirius in the old...

    Admittidly this can happen. An overload of a server is not necessarily related to social media. It just means that a lot of people tried to get access at once. SXM made a decision on their own with no vote from the audience. I do not think there is a way for them to track satellite listeners...

    Update: Apparently the loss of Escape has caused a "overload" situation on the other websites of Beautiful music stations. Surprising development: http://www.kahm.info/ scroll down to the message. Also SXM is banning anyone who complains on their facebook page about the loss of escape from...

    Perhaps this would have been a better way to have handled escape. Listen carefully for the parallels: And if Escape does not come back, the new BEZ Channel: Blue Velvet First Song: Anny Votes?

    Yeah it does not show on the radio screen or in schedule. It is in the program announcements during the songs. Today they seem to have corrected it to "Escape to Love" Blatter a most appropriate name seems to be behind all these channel "realignments" according to chatter on other groups...

    Well it has not boiled over into here yet but there appear to be problems with the Love Songs station. Seems that the info recieved that there was an ongoing plan to transfer programing to that channel from the escape library is taking place causing another upset to the listeners of love songs...

    Of importance that you do. I take it you enyoy them significantly. But one morning you wake up and find that the vomitus channel has replaced them. I think you would be not very happy about that especially if you are in a circumstance where you have no alternative. That is what commonly...

    Well of course you are so right especially with the recent degrading of sound quality to the extent that the spoken voice does not even sound good. All I have to do is turn on that 35 year old tube set to 88.1 and listen to a real Jazz station. KKJZ

    Well of course, that is why that new mega channel should be considered. You will be welcomed. Of course the move would free up some bandwidth. Enjoy that errrrr.... "Malt"

    Sirius XM prpoject FUBAR is just that. None of the new channrls are worth scat. None of the channels recommended as replacement listening for ESCAPE even remotely qualify. The sound quality is notably worse, very mushy. Basically all the music channels except SPA, Sinatra and 1940s can easily...

    This is interesting because Escape would then still be on satellite. 13 was where Velvet should have been. Calliente is listed for 69 so Escape bumps Velvet where does that go? Also an announcement that most of the music on Escape would be relocated to channel 17 Love Songs and that a new name...

    Good question, are those radios tied to you for life or can they be resold? My sub is for the life of the radio which could be short since the last time they did stuff like this it came close to death. I belive in good care even for the hopelessly dying and it got well again after a few months...

    Regarding Beautiful Music: A lot of people don't know. Actually it covers many genre of music. If its pretty we play it, If it is not forget it. The general rule. However the original concept is still available on WQEZ Birminghan AL. To understand you must listen to it for awhile. Some people...

    Your right about that regarding satellite radio. Escape was the only service on XM I know of that pointed out that they could be received anywhere in North America and celebrated with special music for holidays in various countries. We are losing the best to the mini boob tube crowd unfotunately.

    I did check and AccuRadio does have the SPA(68) and several similar stations under new age. It is similar and sound is better. Free Service.

    I would agree with you but this is just nonsense with fakey 1940 imitation voices. Since I was alive in the forties and listened to the radio back then I would say the music presented is accurate but the announcers were very professional and provided the info you suggest.
